Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

COOK TOP SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Ensure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Never use the appliance for warming or heating the room.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Flammable materials should not be stored in or near the appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or fl ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface element is ON, the surface element will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface element knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or an electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface elements are at the OFF position, and that all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil cooking element.

Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with four burners of different sizes. Select utensils that have fl at bottoms large enough to cover

the surface of the heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

Never leave the appliance unattended while in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills can ignite.

Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

Ensure that refl ector pans or drip bowls are in place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

To reduce risk of burns, ignition of fl ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent burners.

Removable heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Use care when opening the door. Allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or replacing food.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Build up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Keep oven vents unobstructed.

Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot heating element in the oven.

Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.

Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating

element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.

WARNING - IN CASE OF FIRE

In the event of a fire, never pick up a fl aming pot or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so. Extinguish the fire with a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not use water on grease fires. Water will spread the grease and will not extinguish the fire. Smother the fire with a tight fitting pot lid, cookie sheet or fl at tray or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning

the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, do not move this appliance while it is hot. To reduce the risk of injury due to tipping of the appliance, verify the re-installation of this appliance into the anti-

tipping device provided and lock the casters after returning the appliance to the original installed position.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR

AREAS NEAR THEM

Heating elements on the surface or in the interior of the appliance may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Areas near the heating elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use do not touch or let clothing or other fl ammable materials contact the heating elements or areas near them until they have had sufficient time to cool. Surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns, among them are the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors and oven windows.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of the appliance. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range by removing the lower drawer if the outlet is in the preferred location.

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinetry is present above the range, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5 inches beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cook top must be no deeper than 13 inches.

Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand temperatures generated by the range.

Allow 2 inches of space from the range to the adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface.

Allow 30 inches minimum clearance between the surface elements and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinets and 15 inches minimum between the counter top and the adjacent cabinet bottom.

The range is heavy and can settle into soft fl oor coverings such as vinyl or carpeting. When installing the range on this type of fl ooring, it should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick sheet of plywood or similar material.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located under the cooktop.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to

meet the requirements of the CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 - latest edition.

You can get a copy from: Canadian Standards Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON, M9W 1R3, CANADA.

This range is equipped with a CSA International Certified Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-50R wall receptacle. Be sure the wall receptacle is within reach of the range’s final location.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS

HEAT SETTING GUIDE

The surface heating elements of the appliance are designed for a variety of heat settings.

At both the HI and LO positions, there are slight indents and the knob will click into place in these positions. HI indicates the highest setting. LO indicates the lowest setting.

A sound of clicking may be heard from the appliance during use. This is normal and indicates that the heat setting selected is being maintained.

Changing to a higher heat setting will happen faster than changing to a lower heat setting as it will take time for the heat to dissipate.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1.Push the control knob in.

2.Turn to the desired heat setting.

The knob only needs to be pushed in when moving out of the “OFF” position. When the knob is in any position other than “OFF”, it can be turned without pushing in.

Ensure that the element is turned off when cooking is finished. An indicator light will glow when any heating element is turned on.

•HI - quick start for cooking; bringing water to a boil

•MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry; pan broil; maintain a fast boil on a large amount of food

•MED - Sauté and brown; maintain a slow boil on a large amount of food

•MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain the serving temperature of most foods

•LO - Cook after starting at HI; cook with little water in a covered pan; use to steam rice; melt chocolate or butter

Never leave food unattended while cooking. Boil overs cause smoking. Greasy spill overs may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKING TIPS

Use medium or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease.

To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be fl at on the bottom, have straight sides and tightfitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface element. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat, which causes “crazing” (fine hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN COOKING CONTROLS

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT

To use the oven, turn the oven temperature knob to the desired cooking temperature. The oven knob is marked in 25 degree increments, from 200°F to BROIL.

The oven light glows until the oven reaches the selected temperature and then will turn off. During cooking, the light will turn on any time the oven needs to add more heat to maintain the selected temperature.

OVEN SHELVES

The oven shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when they are placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when food is being removed or added.

To remove the shelves from the oven, pull the shelf outward, tilt the front end upward and pull it out.

To replace the shelves, place the shelf on the support with the stop locks facing up and toward the back of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support, then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way into the oven.

You may find that the new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use the new oven for a few weeks to become familiar with it. If you still find the oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature of the oven. They are not calibrated for high temperatures and can vary from 20 - 40 degrees.

This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

1.Pull the oven temperature knob off the range and look at the back of it. To make an

adjustment, loosen by one turn the two screws on the back of the knob. Do not completely remove the screws.

2.With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

3.To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right.

4.To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left.

5.You will hear a click for each notch you move the knob. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. The range is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow. We suggest that you adjust the temperature by one click and then test the oven performance before adjusting further.

6.After the adjustment is made, retighten the screws so they are snug. Be careful not to overtighten.

7.Replace the knob, matching the fl at area of the knob to the shaft.

The oven has four different shelf support positions to accommodate different cooking requirements.
